Over eight hundred ttten are now at work in McHenry county on CWA jobs, according to $ late report from headquarters, with a grand total of 4,000,000 persons in the United States new working on these projects. The weekly county CWA payroll amounts to about $12,000 and the country's is estimated at $49,000,000. Checks are being mailed out today from Woodstock for the county workers, the week's pay amounting to $11,- .125.36. I McHenry county's headquarters for the CWA has been thoroughly organized. Located in the supervisor's room in the court house an efficient staff of workers has been enrolled to take care of the administrative work of the program in the county. Project engineers, . timekeepers, stenographers, clerks, office manager and various contact men have been assigned to duty. McHenry county probably has one of the most efficient staffs in the state. Reproaetffehtives from the istate office have^fommended the committees who fiffve been in charge of the work and have given credit to those who have^-donated their time in organizing the program in the county. Although there has been 50me criticism in connection with the supervising of the program in the county this has come from a jealous sort and has in no way interfered with the progress of the work. 191-- 488 168--- 516 169-- 507 189-- 570 865--2525 J 132-- 414 155-- 465 169-- 507 190-- 533 150-- 450 796--2369 During the night the temperature ro'ne, however, with the result that the ice was gone in the morning.
